Looking for a blower intake for the small block Oldsmobile

PM me if you know or have one.

I don't recall one ever being built by a manufacturer. Some have taken a four barrel manifold and made an adapter plate that bolts to the intake and the blower bolts to the adapter. Or use a Paxton type blower that fits over the entire carb. Like the Ford T-bird or Studebaker Avante

Gene,


The only SBO blower intakes I have ever seen have been fabricated by taking one of the Offy 360 dual quad intakes, milling the carb flanges parallel to the crank centerline, and welding a thick aluminum plate to the top. This one is a BBO, but you get the idea.

It's not. BDS uses the Offy intake with a welded plate, as I suggested.

I've seen an SBO blower intake fabricated by BDS. They do nice work.

Unfortunately it is still an Offy intake with a blower adapter welded to it. It isn't even a dual quad, it started life as a single quad intake. Compare the second photo with the blower intake, particularly at the rear. Yes, it is a BBO intake. The SBO version of the Offy has differently shaped runners at the back (third photo).
